Vanuatu Islands Shake as 6.0 Magnitude Earthquake Recorded

A magnitude 6 earthquake struck the Vanuatu islands on Tuesday, according to the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ).

The agency reported that the quake occurred at a depth of about 10 kilometers (6.2 miles). No immediate reports of damage or casualties were provided in the initial statement.

Vanuatu, a Pacific island nation located on the “Ring of Fire,” is frequently affected by earthquakes due to its position along active tectonic plate boundaries.
